March 22Mar 22 reading about dipping shares By the time you read a story like the one where supermicro's top brass getting arrested and their stock lost about a third of valuation, trump posts something on his truth social, the centre of gravity shifts somewhere else. You pay much attention to trump's 72 hours deadline? He goes from doing everything illegal to war criminal. Rather depressing.

March 29Mar 29 First Western Digital, now Sony: The tech giant suspends SD card saleshttps://mashable.com/article/sony-sd-card-sales-suspended-memory-shortage
March 29Mar 29 Author AAARRRRGGGGH!!! The price of this has almost doubled since I bought one in December! Damn AI to hell! How the fudge will I record my bike rides using my GoPro if the bloody SD card costs more than the camera? It'll just be the cheapo weird named brands left at this rate, but though still weird they're not cheap anymore, and their cards aren't fast enough for GoPros! Or DJI drones!https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09X7BK27V?th=1 Edited March 30Mar 30 by guerney

Panicked because I use this thing every day. Does everything I need on the go, has a data SIM, is upgraded with fast modern SSD, 4+ hour batttery going full pelt, boot choices are: XP Pro, Windows 7 Pro, plus three Linuxii. Dudes in Japan are offering original chargers for stupid money plus tax etc. and a long wait, but after a lot of searching... I eventually found them available new for £17 delivered from the UK. Thought it must be a scam not least because the shop is suspiciously called "Soft Hands", ordered it anyway, after checking Trustpilot, arrived next day. Where they sourced these I don't know, and they probably won't ever be able to source any more when sold out, so I bought more than one, also in case they are infected with the bad capacitor plague which afflicted all sorts of computer gear at that time 20+ years ago. I guess they're cheap from this site because hardly anyone has a Sony VAIO-P UMPC these days. This form factor simply isn't made anymore, and it's a damned shame - fits coat and jacket pockets, and Ive had pockets altered when it didn't fit, even on some leather jackets because it's totally necessary for work.https://softhands.co.uk/genuine-sony-vaio-10.5v-1.9a-20w-chargerI'll see if I can repair this charger. Need acetone to apply with a matchstck on the seams, to soften the glue holding it together, and I've run out... Edited March 30Mar 30 by guerney
